Chapter 87: Chapter 86: The Astonishment of the Fire Elves and Dwarves, a Great Enhancement

This time, to complement the rewards given by his Golden Finger,

Zhang Yi had specifically spent a few hundred Faith Value to create some special effects!

An ordinary member of his Clan had at most three chances for a Bloodline Awakening in their lifetime.

Neither the current Elf Mage Captain, Joy Pala, nor the Dwarf Leader, Copperbeard Ironhammer, had awakened more than once—and that was only by a stroke of luck.

Their bloodlines still had opportunities to awaken further.

’Since the spots are being given out based on merit this time, there’s definitely a place for those two!’

And so, Elf High Priest Shamiel and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana spent a good half-hour compiling a list. It contained the names of those who had earned the merit on this day to undergo a Bloodline Awakening and have their power increased.

Besides the Wood Elf Scout who had already been promised a spot,

Joy Pala’s and Copperbeard Ironhammer’s names were featured prominently!

When the list was ready,

a crowd gathered beneath a temporarily constructed altar.

There weren’t as many people as one might expect—a full 250 had assembled here.

Many of the Clan members who were new to the great God of Nature’s protection and had never before experienced a Bloodline Awakening were now enjoying the chance for both that and a power boost simultaneously!

In fact, what the chosen batch of Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves didn’t know,

was that this was also the first time the great God of Nature had bestowed the reward of a direct power increase.

Even the Wood Elves were envious of the selected Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves!

Once the rewarded Clan members had been selected,

a white light for increasing power and a red light for Bloodline Awakening descended from the great God of Nature.

The two colors of light enveloped them!

Many of the chosen Fire Elves, Wood Elves, and Dwarves were bathed in a mixture of both!

To the side of the altar, the other Clan members who were watching the scene were filled with envy.

All of them were thinking:

’I will give my all for the great God of Nature! Tomorrow, I must fight the enemy even more valiantly!’

’For the great God of Nature, and for my dear Sofia! I must earn a reward on this campaign for the great God of Nature, so I can return and marry my beloved Sofia!’

’Tomorrow, I must redouble my efforts to find the Treasure Chests our great God of Nature requires!’

’...’

As for Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer, who were experiencing a Bloodline Awakening and power increase for the first time, they felt as if they were submerged in warmth, like they had returned to their earliest days gestating in the womb!

This feeling of casting aside all distracting thoughts, of mind and body undergoing an Evolution, was utterly intoxicating!

Immersed in this sensation, the passage of time itself seemed to speed up!

Ten minutes passed in a flash.

The two beams of light disappeared; the time for empowering the Clan had ended.

The Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves experiencing this for the first time were reluctant to let go of the feeling long after they came to their senses.

Only after opening their eyes and seeing reality did they have no choice but to accept that it was over.

And now, after receiving their rewards,

the Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves who had previously doubted the Wood Elves’ wild boasts

were all consumed with shame!

They had been too insignificant before and had not understood the true greatness of the great God of Nature!

Moreover, many of the Clan members who had benefited from the descending light of Bloodline Evolution and power increase

successfully achieved a Bloodline Awakening!

One Mountain Dwarf, who was already over a meter tall, suddenly let out a deep, powerful roar.

His muscles swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his aura began to surge.

Before anyone knew it, he had successfully advanced to the Third Level!

Among them, the greatest changes were seen in Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer.

There was a very fitting phrase to describe the transformation they were undergoing: a sudden release of accumulated potential.

As the leaders of their respective Clans, they had always been the first to receive any benefits.

Now, the Bloodline Awakening and power increase had unlocked all the potential they had accumulated!

But no amount of observation could be as clear as checking their personal interfaces directly.

So, Zhang Yi opened the interfaces for Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer.

[Elf Mage Captain: Joy Pala]

[Clan: Flame Elf]

[Level: Upper Class Clan]

[Level: Fifth Level]

[Profession: Flame Mage]

[Magic: Fire Pillar Technique, Fire Ring Resistance, Flame Burn...]

[Talent: Natural Affinity, Fire Attribute Magic Affinity]

[Power: 14]

[Agility: 16]

[Constitution: 15]

[Intelligence: 18.6]

[Spirit: 18.9]

Evaluation: A Clan member with outstanding stats for a Fire Attribute Mage. With proper nurturing, she could definitely become a Mage Hero!

[Name: Copperbeard Ironhammer]

[Clan: Earth Dwarf]

[Level: Upper Class Clan]

[Level: Fifth Level]

[Profession: Blacksmith/Berserker]

[Skills: Frenzy Aura, War Charge]

[Talent: Mineral Knowledge, Natural Blacksmithing, Mild Divine Power]

[Power: 19]

[Agility: 15]

[Constitution: 18]

[Intelligence: 11]

[Spirit: 12]

Evaluation: If nurtured, he could serve as a vanguard, capable of commanding small units but not a large army. He is a Hero meant to lead the charge!

’Just as I thought. Clan units at the Third Level and above quickly pull away from those below the Third Level in their Four-dimensional Attributes!’

Zhang Yi mused as he looked at the personal interfaces of Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer.

It had been mentioned before that a Clan’s Level could not exceed the Level of the Lord of Deities by more than three.

Zhang Yi was currently a Second Transformation Demigod, so his Clan’s power could be raised to a maximum of the Fifth Level.

If Zhang Yi were to advance to Third Transformation Demigod, his Clan’s power Level could not exceed the Sixth Level!

The Third and Sixth Levels were major watersheds for a Clan’s strength.

Before the Third Level, Four-dimensional Attributes were in the single digits.

After the Third Level, they were in the double digits!

The difference was like the gap between zero and one—a qualitative leap!

A unit from the latter group could easily crush several from the former!

Neither Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala’s personal interface nor Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer’s disappointed Zhang Yi!

The Evaluation for Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala was spot-on.

Given her mastery of Fire Attribute Magic, she could be developed into a "magical turret" specializing in Fire Attribute Magic in the future!

However, Zhang Yi already had other Clan members in his Divine Realm who could fill that role.

So, compared to Joy Pala’s interface,

it was Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer’s interface that truly surprised and delighted Zhang Yi!

This was the first of all of Zhang Yi’s Clan members to have an aura appear in their Skills section!

The very first!

Previously, after the placement exam, when every student chose a Five-star Divine Domain Card according to their rank,

Sima Yuan had picked [War Charge], which was an Aura Type Divine Domain Card.

Any skill that was an Aura Type

could cover a large area around the user.

For this reason, aura skills were also known as Legion Skills!

Any aura skill would radiate its Effect outward from the user at its center!

And the Frenzy Aura that Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer possessed was a potent tool for battle!

By simply charging into the enemy ranks and activating this aura, his own Four-dimensional Attributes and those of his allies would at least double!

At that point, when fighting elites of the same Level, they would be utterly unstoppable!

Not to mention that Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer also possessed the Mild Divine Power Talent.

If he led the Dwarf Corps to charge into the enemy and activated his Frenzy Aura, it would be a completely one-sided slaughter!

Among Zhang Yi’s many Clan members, he was not lacking in Conductor-types or back-row magic-casting Heroes. What he lacked was a Hero who could lead a frontal assault!

And now, the appearance of Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer undoubtedly filled that gap!

After checking, Zhang Yi learned that the Dwarf Leader’s Frenzy Aura had a maximum capacity of two hundred people.

Now he understood.

He saw why the evaluation stated that Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer was merely a warrior who led the charge, capable of commanding small units but not of becoming a true general!

Of course, with long-term nurturing, it wasn’t impossible for Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer to develop other Skills.

In time, with various skill combinations and the nurturing of the God of Nature,

Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer could definitely grow from a warrior who leads the charge into a general who commands an entire army!

With such grand rewards being handed out, Zhang Yi certainly couldn’t forget his very first Clan members.

However, both Elf High Priest Shamiel and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana

had refused the rewards before the ceremony began.

They stated that it wouldn’t be too late to reward them after the battle was over and they had returned to the Divine Realm protected by the great God of Nature!

Zhang Yi thought about it.

Elf High Priest Shamiel was currently his host vessel, so it was impossible for her to be harmed.

As for Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, she was equipped with the best life-saving items.

She had also gradually stopped her practice of leading charges from the front.

Even if she did encounter danger, Zhang Yi was always watching and could intervene.

Therefore, Zhang Yi agreed to Elf High Priest Shamiel and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s proposal.

He would wait until after this exam was over, and once they returned to the Divine Realm, he would give them—and all other Clan members who had made great contributions—a massive reward!

In fact, the surprises didn’t end there!

A Wood Elf Scout, who had made a huge contribution during the day and received the dual rewards of a power increase and a Bloodline Awakening,

suddenly sought out Elf Legion Commander Feiyana that night. He claimed that after his bloodline had awakened, he had made a major discovery and needed to see Elf High Priest Shamiel!
